Marketing Rants + Critiques

I’m a super critical son of a gun, as many of you know, and when I approve of a company it really means a lot. I’m typically the one burning marketing campaigns like a problematic child at a campfire but, in all reality, I can’t find anything wrong with Jones Soda. Mucho kudos to all of you soda scientists out there.

Jones Soda, in my opinion, is the ideal model of a beverage company using Social Media to the max. They have catchy, unique beverages and their marketing matches such. I mean, who else (that’s taken seriously and successful) would dare to release a drink called WHOOPASS? Awesome. Awesome I tell you.

For all of you website designers and Social Media experts out there, check out http://www.jonessoda.com/ and take note of the below things:
1) Catchy, minimal, Apple-esque design
2) Clear and apparent integration of social channels. Instead of hiding social networking buttons on the footer, which is common, Jones Soda put them in prime real estate — the header.
3) An entire strip above the footer is dedicated to recent Tweets on the company. Smart? You betcha!

In conclusion, I must say that I’m very impressed and looking forward to opening a can of “WHOOPASS” sometime soon.
